Apple-banana muffins are a delicate blend of fruity sweetness and spicy warmth that will enhance any tea party. This dessert, popular in European cuisine, embodies the best traditions of home baking, where the softness of bananas perfectly complements the refreshing tartness of apples. The muffins are airy, slightly moist, and aromatic thanks to cinnamon and nutmeg. Almond flakes give them an exquisite texture, while vanilla sugar adds a subtle sweetness. They can be served as a standalone treat or paired with a cup of hot tea. Each bite offers a harmony of flavors, comfort, and the warmth of home cooking.
